Britain's Ten Days Factor

Doesn't anyone notice this?

On March 1, the British Prime Minister hosted Volodymyr Zelensky at 10 Downing Street, where the prime minister lives. Leaders from across Europe came to the anti-Russia meeting. Image from Google Street View.

10 days after that, a cargo ship, Portuguese-registered but with a Russian captain, collided with an anchored tanker off the east coast of England. The tanker was carrying fuel to be used by the military. Ship collisions like this are very rare.

10 days after that, a fire at an electrical substation shut down Heathrow Airport. This is by far Britain's most important point of entry and exit. Incidents like this are extremely rare. There is all kinds of electrical infrastructure around Niagara Falls and nothing like this has ever happened. 

What both incidents have in common is a lot of fire.
